Diana

Chapter 19 : Everyone Ends Up Hurting Me

December 23rd

"Harry would if they hate me?" I worried looking at the clock, Harry's mom, step father, and Gemma would be here any moment.

"They are gonna love you! Trust me." He chuckled.

"But what if-"

"Babe just relax, they are very easy going people, and very understanding, believe me when I say they will love you!"

And right then and there, the doorbell rang. I took a deep breath as I watched harry go answer it. Maybe I'm just overthinking this too much.

"Heyyy!" Gemma came in with an identical smile that looked just like Harry's.

"Hi!" I smiled back at her getting up to greet Anne and robin.

"Diana, right?" Robin smiled shaking my hand.

"Yep."

"She is beautiful harry!" Anne laughed playing with a strand of my brown loosely curled hair. I've never felt this loved and it felt good.

"Harry talks about you all the time, and when I say all the time, I literally mean all the time!" Gemma giggled as harry blushed.

After they arrived, harry suggested going for dinner at the ivy...a very fancy 5 star restaurant, and I'm not kidding when I say fancy, everyone is so sophisticated and me and Gemma shared a few laughs about our very snobby waiter. He would talk like one of those really annoying British rich men in the movies. Well after dinner Anne and Gemma helped me decorate the rest of the house for the Christmas Eve party while Harry and Robin ended up watching a durby game on the tv. But by at least midnight everyone got tired and went to bed.

"Diana?" Harry whispered on the side of me. It was at least 2am and I was too tired to talk so I just moaned.

"Do you like my family?" He grinned.

I turned on my side to face him. "I like them a lot harry, just kidding, I love them." I quietly laughed.

"I know your really sensitive about this topic but does your dad still beat you?"

I hesitated, and nodded my head yes and Harry pulled me closer to him and I snuggled closer into his chest.

"Please stay here longer I don't want to let you go get hurt by him."

"I can't, I have school, plus he's not home very often, so it's okay. Trust me I'll be fine." I whispered reassuringly. I don't want him worrying about me 24/7.

"I will never hurt you." He said kissing my forehead.

"And I promise that." He said now whispering. I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

"You can't promise that harry, everyone ends up hurting me." I sniffled.

"Yes I can. I will never hurt you and I do mean that. Diana, I love you, and I don't ever hurt the people I love." He said looking me in the eyes.

"I love you too." I said closing my eyes and he ended up hugging me tightly the whole entire night.
